I am using the components: TADOConnection, TADODataSet, TDataSource, TDBGrid and TDBNavigator, and my platform is BDS2006 for Win32. DBNavigator allows me to delete a selected record. It also allows me to insert a new record but I have so far found no way to enter data into any of the fields in this new record and when I try to complete the action I get the obvious message that I cannot insert a record without any data. I suppose it is the same problem when I have not found any way of editing the data in a field in a selected record. (I do it with SQL UPDATE statements on the table as a whole, but in some cases I need to do it on individually selected record fields like editing cells in a datasheet.) I should appreciate some "quick-start" advice, both on how to select a field rather than the complete row in DBGrid, and also on how to edit record fields. regards Sven Back to top Bill Todd Guest Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2006 3:33 am    Post subject: Re: edit and/or insert records in TADODataset I have not worked with Acess for years but you should be able to edit data in the DBGrid by selecting a cell and typing. Make sure that the AutoEdit property of the DataSet is set to true (the default). If you cannot enter data in a new record or change data in an existing record tell us exactly what happens when you try to do so including the exact text of any error message. -- Bill Todd (TeamB) Back to top Bill Todd Guest Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2006 6:15 am    Post subject: Re: edit and/or insert records in TADODataset Also, if you cannot edit post your SQL SELECT statement and the metadata for the table. -- Bill Todd (TeamB) Back to top Sven Pran Guest Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2006 8:10 am    Post subject: Re: edit and/or insert records in TADODataset "Bill Todd" <no (AT) no (DOT) com> wrote in message news:4532b734$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

These are the DBGrid options selected: (More or less default) Options = [dgTitles, dgIndicator, dgColumnResize, dgColLines, dgRowLines, dgTabs, dgRowSelect, dgConfirmDelete, dgCancelOnExit] In the ADODataset definition I now have CommandType = cmdTableDirect, I have tried cmdTable and cmdText with SQL select statements, for instance SELECT * FROM tablename. Anything not mentioned here is probably irrelevant for my "problem" (like font and title specifications) or default in BDS2006 I shall be away for a week, probably unable to look up answers until Friday. regards Sven Back to top Bill Todd Guest Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2006 5:42 pm    Post subject: Re: edit and/or insert records in TADODataset Remove dgRowSelect. -- Bill Todd (TeamB) Back to top Sven Pran Guest Posted: Fri Oct 20, 2006 3:12 pm    Post subject: Re: edit and/or insert records in TADODataset "Bill Todd" <no (AT) no (DOT) com> wrote in message news:45337e34$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com... Quote: Remove dgRowSelect. -- Bill Todd (TeamB) Right! I have been away for some days and one evening I sat down with my computer to see if I could get any further. Suddenly I got the idea first to remove dgRowSelect which did not help. Then I noticed dgEditing which I could not make "true" and finally I combined the two changes.
